Europium metal price and supply requirements

Europium supplier inquiries should identify whether metal, ingot, pieces, rod, wire or another form is required. State purity, dimensions, net quantity, packaging or atmosphere requirements, analytical certificates, intended application where relevant and destination ZIP code. Current europium pricing is confirmed only after the specification is reviewed.

General characteristics

Europium is soft silvery-white metal that relates to a group of lanthanides. Atomic number is 63 and atomic weight is 151.96. It is designated in periodic system as Eu. It was separated from rare-earth elements just before XX century by French chemist Eugène-Anatole Demarçay, who named it in honor of Europe. Nowadays, industry obtains it by a method of vacuum recovering from Eu2 O3 oxide with a help of lanthanum, carbon, EuCl3 electrolysis. Among lanthanides, europium is one of the most expensive metals. Depending on index of purity, it can cost from 800 to 2000 dollars per 1 kilogram.

Chemical properties

Europium covers with oxide film in air very fast. It is kept in cans filled with liquid paraffin or kerosene. Chemical valency is +2 +3. It separates almost all metals from salt solutions.

Physical features

Melting point is 826 °C, boiling temperature is 1597 °C, and specific weight is 5.24 g /cm3. Being a workable metal, it can be easily processed — bent, rolled, drilled, milled, cut. At a temperature of 1.8°K and pressure of 80 HPa, europium becomes a super-conductor.

Application

It relates to a group of non-ferrous metal. Available mill-products: rod, wire, sheets etc. They can be used in nuclear reactors in the capacity of neutron absorber (borate, hexaboride, Eu2 O3 oxide). Europium can form light-sensitive joints. Eu2 O3 oxide is applied by nuclear -hydrogenous energetics for thermochemical water splitting. Unstable europium 154 can be used as a nuclear fuel. Europium ions can generate orange radiation with wave length of 0.61 µm, which serves as a basis for making of liquid and solid-state lasers.
